So, there are two places where TM_LATEX_MASTER can be defined. There  
is the shell variables in the preferences area. That's usually not  
the best thing for this variable since in general we want a different  
variable for each project. So to begin with, you should certainly  
unset it there, unless you really know why you've set it in the first  
place.

What you want to look at now is in your project. (http:// 
macromates.com/textmate/manual/ 
environment_variables#project_dependent_variables)
  At the bottom of the project drawer there is a little "info"  
button. It is usually disabled, and to enable it you have to make  
sure there is no file selected in the drawer (i.e. click on some  
empty space in the drawer). This enables the button, and when you  
click on it it brings up a window much like the "shell variables"  
window in the preferences. Except that the variables here are only  
set when working with this particular project, and different projects  
can have different variables associated with them.
My guess is that this is where  TM_LATEX_MASTER is set to its  
incorrect value.
